Hello again,
No photos today- although the fuel pumps are coming along nicely! Thought I should just reply to the last few comments...
Cinqster - hope everything's up and running as soon as possible.
TBT - still some way from adding the gas, unfortunately, but if you search the completed projects you'll find my Can-Am 917-10 which is very much ready to roll!
Ashman - although I work with Formula Ford racecars for a living, my metalworking skills are strictly limited! Besides, I'd only end up burning holes in the bedroom carpet and I'd never get a 1:1 version out of the door...
The comment about the Tamiya release just sent me off on a search, but I couldn't find anything online - I assume you mean the 1:12 Porsche 910 kit? The 6-cylinder 910 coupe ('67) was a few years before the 908-3 ('70) but other than the use of a tube-frame chassis there's not much in common between the two. I guess the main influences for the 908-3 were the earlier 910 and 909 Bergspyder hillclimb cars - about 275bhp in a car weighing less than 450kg!
